Default Got stuck bad

So today I went off roading a little bit by the Phoenix International Raceway. I was just bs'ing a little bit when some guy approaches me on foot. In spanish asked me to help him out he was stuck. I went and he had a car front wheel drive nothing special stuck, out side was his pregnant wife and 3 year old child in the heat at 110 degree's. I had him loop my strap around his back axle and proceeded to pull him slowly looking for a spot to get him out, after about a good block or two of circling I went through some soft sand and because I was trying to take it easy on there axle I was just driving slow, I got stuck. my front tires were buried so deep that you can only see the top two inches, the back tires were almost as bad, needless to say I was stuck which was embarrassing since my license plate reads YRUSTUK. I called my wifes cousin that has a lifted chevy 1500 (real high) I called him and he was on his way, in the mean time a 1990 4 runner was putting around. he wanted to try to pull me out, 5 attempts and nothing, did not even budge. my wifes cousin got there and tried a few times and could not budge me. finally both had strapped up and jerked me out. I was unable to help them because my truck had been trying itself and I had literally filled up the airbox with sand and clogged the filter beyond belief. I had to have my wifes cousin take me to Checker auto parts and bought two air filters ( over 40 bucks ) and then take me back. If I had sharx number I would have called him that way I would not have had to beg a Chevy to pull me out. I unfortunatly did not have a camera with me as this was not expected. I think I am going to have to invest in some lockers and a new set of tires. I will accept any heckling you can throw at me for having a toyota and a chevy pull me out.

I will be there for a couple hours. I have already decided to punish myself and drive the mini van for a week. No truck for me.

no flame here. which would you rather be... pulled out by toyo, or still stuck.
i put a powertrax noslip in mine. very effective. nice diy and works good for moderate tires and stock hp. (not recommended for racing, high hp, etc.)

Why did you call a Chevy, if you had called me it could have been our little secret, of course I never would have let you live it down...but Im sure you already knew that and thats why you called the Chevy. [8D]

I've never been stuck that bad myself,,, but I've been going through the woods when I had my Yamaha 600 and found guys that had been stuck for a while. When ur in that kinda spot,, you really dont care who pulls u out or with what [8D], lol. Sounds like the guy with the prego wife didn't mind too much either. I think driving the minivan for a week will be punishment enough. Hell,, I've been driving my wifes Honda Accord alot lately,, well,, b/c it's so quiet,,lol. It has a sunroof too and I look good in it,, of course Ilook alot better and get alot more looks in the truck.

They had to team up to get you out, dont sweat it! Neither had the power to do it alone.
